APB concept artist forms a new studio

One new studio has already risen from the ashes of the defunct Dundee developer Realtime Worlds.

Character and concept artist Jimmy O'Ready has formed a new studio named Montynero offering character design and concept art services to developers.

O'Ready explained the move to Develop Online: "The character art for APB was praised by the industry, thanks to a strong team effort over many years. For my part I'm interested in basing this company in Dundee, which is a great city full of talent, and collaborating on the next generation of game art with companies across the globe."

He added on the passing of APB: "Personally I felt delays in a couple of crucial areas meant APB simply missed its moment. I salute all the developers involved though, we had some superb people working incredibly hard."
